Submissions are now due on February 12, 2026, at 2:30 p.m. to the school office. Awards will be presented at the Black History Month Community Connections celebration on Thursday, February 19, 5:30 - 7:30 p.m. at Highland View.

GMS 6th graders wrapped up their research unit on our changing oceans recently with a video call to a real-life explorer -- Mark Wood, who travels to remote places around the world. Mr. Wood has led polar and mountain expeditions for over twenty years in areas including the Arctic Circle, Antarctica and the Himalayas, plus the Norwegian, Canadian and Alaskan high Arctic. He has trained and led teams and supported film crews for documentaries. This was a an extraordinary culminating activity and the students were fascinated by his stories and adventures! #LearnGrowEngageGreendale #CultivatingExcellence

GHS Sources of Strength is hosting a week of activities related to the strength of generosity at the high school. Thursday's event was a hot cocoa sale in the MPR during the lunch hours. Students and staff are very excited to work together at reaching the goal of raising $2,000! For info on SMA, click here.
The community celebrated the Greendale Marching Band's upcoming appearance at the Rose Parade with a special celebration on Saturday afternoon in the gym at GHS. The band performed the music from its fall field show, Snow Angel, and the selection it will perform on New Year's Day in the 5.5 mile parade in Pasadena, California. Standby for details and television broadcast information on the best way to see our students perform in the parade! Thanks so much to EVERYONE who brought coloring books to donate to Shriner's Hospital in California, and to our entire community for its outstanding support of the fine arts in Greendale. Our students are excited to share their Panther Spirit during the parade.
